I’ve edited my friend group when we know a dude has assaulted someone (even one of us), but a friend says “That’s awful… but he’s always been nice to me.” Sorry, not enough.

Sent a pitch at 10:15 a.m. today to one of my favorite editors, and by 1:00 p.m. I had a yes. Like writers, editors are BUSY, but quick feedback is one of the highlights of my week.

Agreed. I understand tools that make things easier, but I need my brain to work to do my job. If I give myself shortcuts that keep me from operating at my best when writing, I have nothing. Save me time in other ways, like sparing me from having to sleuth about to get affordable health care.

Nothing wrong with willfully misunderstanding people into doing the right thing. If they actually would, that is.

I'm currently on family vacation. I've filed two articles and I'm working on three more. I don't think I've ever taken a completely unplugged family vacation. On this one, I feel like I'm working less than relaxing, so there's a win.

I know this isn’t how the World Cup group play matchups are decided, but I would have enjoyed seeing former/current empires play their former/current colonies and get their asses handed to them.

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

The child has strapped a chicken egg to herself, convinced that she's going to hatch the thing. It's supposed to take 21 days, so we'll see how long she lasts.
